Mustang Island Tiki, we have a pretty comprehensive Stone Carving Q+A thread that should answer most of your questions. Your garden centre pebbles will be fine, but don't expect miracles - they are chosen to fill bags, not for their carving attributes! If you are surrounded by sand, there must be rock somewhere?

Thanks for the reply Paipo!

Yeah there are rocks further inland but nothing here on the island. Well, I lie, the bedrock is supposed to be several hundred feet or more below this island! I have been trying to find suppliers for they type of machine you use but I am not having much luck. Those I do find are not listing any prices. I don't mind paying a bit more for quality tools because they almost always last a lot longer. So what does a good machine and a basic set of bits run?

Also, do you have a web addy that lists any of your fine pieces for sale? There are several that I am interested in.

Thanks again!
